Display Language for Translated Form Signatures
Answered
We frequently have Spanish-speaking parents signing documents on Embrace. Could there be a way to switch the display language on certain forms so that the parent can read it in their native language instead of trusting me to sign it?
The forms I can think of are: Initial Provision, Initial and Reeval Consent, Medicaid.

Hi Christopher,
Thank you for reaching out to us!
By selecting Print Forms > Print Options within an IEP meeting, you can select the Translate header, which shows the options for translating documents. You may select the appropriate checkboxes and forms, then proceed to print to generate a translated PDF. Please note, depending on your district settings, the option to Translate Form and Data may be limited to Admin only.
Please note, the DRAFT watermark is applied to as a precaution to translated document for most districts because the document was not originally written in the translated language, but rather translated by Google and/or user overrides.
Please feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any further questions or if we can be of further assistance.
Thank you!

I understand that. What I was asking was: would it be possible to change the display language on the form (before printing), so what when I present the tablet to the parent to sign, they can see it in their native language on the 'live' document? Not translating the typed text yet, just the form itself.
Currently, that is always in English and they just have to trust me when I tell them what it says when I ask for signatures. It translates afterwards, when I print.
In other words: a feature similar to when Chrome asks me if I want to translate a German-language page when I visit it via the browser and then displays it in English for me to interact with. In the case of Embrace: showing the static section of the page in supported languages for parents to read.

Hi Christopher,
Thank you for clarifying!
While there is not an Embrace function to translate the displayed form while in the data-entry version of the form, most browser functions may be utilized within Embrace. Therefore, as an example, in Google Chrome, you may use the right-click > Translate to… option to translate the page you are on.
Please feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any further questions or if we can be of further assistance.
Thank you!
